Capped hock

[ALO]

My accident prone horse has managed to cap his hock. He has a massive graze on his rump as well so I assume he may have got cast and banged it. Vet has checked and happy with it at moment. Not lame. Am cold hosing twice a day, anything other suggestions? Thanks

Compagel from Vets and Arnica, you cant even tell on my youngsters which hock blew up few years ago!
Good luck!

Thanks for your reply. How long did it stay big for?

I plastered it with haemoroid cream...was mortified when I bought 2 tubes and was then asked if it was for me...and I had to say yes!

I would be icing it rather than cold hosing - use a tubigrip, doubled up, then put the crushed ice inbetween the two layers.

lol, I bought 3 tubes off E-bay, so no embarrassment. Ran out of Tensolvet - and thought it worth a try as can't get Tensolvet anymore.
